Deputies: Multiple Domestic Violence Cases at Stabbing Victim's Home

Ashley Vereen, 25, was arrested and charged with murder after she stabbed her husband early Saturday, according to the Richland County Sheriff's Department.

Gary M. Vereen, 27, died of stab wounds at his home on Kathleen Court near Columbia High School. Deputies arrived at the scene around 1:45 a.m. Saturday after Ashley Vereen called 911, according to the sheriff's department.

It wasn't the first time deputies had been called to the house because of a domestic dispute, according to the sheriff's department. There were other incidents in which Ashley Vereen had attacked her husband. 

But a neighbor said Ashley Vereen was a nice woman who loved her child and kept to herself. 

The couple's 2-year-old child stayed with an aunt Saturday, according to the sheriff's department. 

Ashley Vereen is being held at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center. Her bond hearing is tentatively scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Monday, according to the solicitor's office.
